The warm weather this week has been lovely for the children to play outside.
Thank you for collecting lots of lovely signs of Autumn on your walks. We used them for talking time and making patterns.
Words of the week were : Harvest festival Kindness
The story we have been retelling is The Little Red Hen!
We have been making patterns with natural objects and printing a pattern with objects.
It has been mental health awareness week so we have been thinking about things that make us happy.
In the woods we made some happy faces with natural objects.
We have now learnt 20 sounds we are half way though set 1.
We will be quizzing the children next week on the ones they have remembered.
Here are some highlights.

What a week of learning.
This weeks words are EMOTIONS and RULES
We have done the first 5 sounds from the RWI phonics scheme.
m a s d t
You can blend little words to make m-a-t mat
s-a-t sat
m-a-d mad
s-a-d-sad.
Please practise reminding the children of these sounds as we will have another 5 next week.
In maths we have been matching but to match you need to notice what is the same and what is different.
You can do this easily in the woods looking for matching leaves.
We have been learning about emotions and naming them, how they make us feel, and things that happen to give us that emotion.
Ask the children about this.
What makes you feel?
Here are a few highlights.
Emotion Monsters
Matching
Outside exploring
We also went into the woods to look at all the leaves which have fallen as this week is the start of Autumn.
Next week we are looking at senses.
Thank you for your support at home.

Wow!
The first full week of school for all your fabulous children.
Thank you to all for getting to school on time, as the register starts at 8.55am so this really helps the flow for the children.
We are all so proud of all the children this week and they are setting well around our school and learning all the routines.
We have been really lucky to have some registered volunteers working in our class over the past two weeks helping the children settle. If you have or know anyone who could give up some time in the morning or afternoon to help in class we would be very grateful.
Here are a few of our highlights:
Painting
Construction with the U-NU
Completing jigsaws
Measuring 'now long' with the triangles
Forest school session
Next week there is a phonics workshop on Friday 22nd at 2.45pm in the Reception classroom while the children are in Assembly with myself Mrs Oddy.
It is really important that you attend this or send some one to listen to the information on how to help your child at home.
How to help them blend which is the first step of reading.
Thank you for all your support I look forward to seeing you and your children next week
